Instructions
1
Prepare and Season Wings
Start by cutting the wings into sections, tossing out the tips. Season them well with poultry seasoning salt, garlic salt, and black pepper. Heat your grill to medium and give the grates a light coating of oil to keep things from sticking.
2
Grill Wings to Golden
Place the wings on the grill and cook them, turning every now and then, until the skin turns a nice golden brown—this should take about 45 minutes. To make sure they’re done, check that the temperature near the bone hits 165°F.
3
Melt Butter in Sauce
While the wings are cooking, pour your hot sauce into a microwave-safe dish and add the butter. Warm it up in the microwave for about a minute until the butter melts, then stir everything together.
4
Sauce and Grill Wings
Once the wings are off the grill, dip them into the sauce, pop them back on the grill for 3 minutes, then dip them again and grill for another 3 to 5 minutes. After that, place the wings in a serving dish and coat them with any leftover sauce. Enjoy!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
These wings are packed with bold, spicy flavors that make every bite exciting. They have a perfect balance of heat and smokiness from the grill, making them a favorite for gatherings or a fun weeknight meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the wings with cool ranch or blue cheese dressing to balance the spice. Pair them with crunchy celery sticks and a fresh salad for a complete meal that’s both refreshing and satisfying.
Storage Tips
Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or on the grill to keep the skin crispy and the meat tender. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wings soggy.
